Those dirty hippies <3

The myths and philosophy of the counter-culture generation have made huge ripples in our society’s culture today. The people that were active in this culture were classified as “hippies” and the often they shared a similar philosophy, which was to be free and to spread love. The philosophy was very idealist and lead to a purpose to start a revolution. A large preconception was that all hippies smoked marijuana and took psychedelic drugs. Although many did. It could because they wanted to alter their state of consciousness, which may have allowed them to become free in their minds and soul. This awareness could have led to an overall concern for their surrounding environment and humanity as a whole. As the hippie generation grew older and became the main consumers of goods and services, it led to a “green” revolution. Today our society is more aware of our world and wants to preserve it because in reality it’s all we really have. Our culture is concerned with natural processes even when it comes to the ingredients in which we eat. Although back in the 1960’s and 1970’s there may have not been dramatic changes but the aftershock of this culture definitely has left an impact. To believe in something so revolutionary that many people can relate too, it’s bound to leave an impact in our society’s culture, even if it is just an ideal.
